Ok this Mini speccing is leading me to a nervous breakdown.

I am definitely having the Aero kit but I can't decide on the colour and stripe combination. First of all do I go for bonnet stripes or Vipers???? Am wanting to do Vipers but am unsure how it will look with the following combinations:

Pepper White, black vipers, white roof
Silver, black vipers, silver roof
Chilli Red, black vipers, red roof
Astro black, red vipers, red roof

I have seen the Pepper white pictures with aero kit and bonnet stripes and a black roof, but what would vipers look like and would white roof be better.

Any help and pictures would be really appreciated.

TIA.

You shold get the contrast roof as a S with body coloured roof looks too much like a One. My vote is for Pepper white, black roof with black sports stripes and JCW carbon scoop. This is my old car but gives you the idea and Astons PW/B R56.

What's the difference between Sports stripes & bonnet stripes.

Think I'm siding with PW, black roof & mirrors and bonnet or sports stripes. And then inside cloth/leather, back/white with piano black trim.

I think Sport stripes are like the old Bonnet straps of old.

Like vipers but a very small gap between them. They are in the lastest accessories catalogue.

I've order PW with black roof and mirrors and the same interior. Saw one at the dealer the other day and it looked gorgeous. In my opinion, PW with the white roof looks like a wedding car! The black roof is best.

Pepper White, black vipers, white roof = Not sure about the white roof

Silver, black vipers, silver roof = Would look lovely

Chilli Red, black vipers, red roof = Again would look lovely - but maybe more popular

Astro black, red vipers, red roof = I would love to see this combination. I think it sounds really funky!!

I was just on the JCW website and the Chilli red one with black bonnet stripes (with white stripe on the outer exterior of the bonnet stripe) with the aero kit and the JCW carbon duct looks WOW!!!!

See what I mean, I keep changing my mind every 10 secs.

Of those options listed I'd go red/black.

Sport Stripes versus Viper Stripes

mrokkam · Feb 8th, 2007, 06:22 AM

I am a newbie so forgive me if my question is weird

but how does one go about getting a different colour roof?

I've only been looking online but it seems to me that you either get a black or a white roof or a body coloured roof. So, how can one get a black with a red roof ??

anissut · Feb 8th, 2007, 11:07 AM

You can do absolutely anything you want. Just ask the dealer and they do it. You can get black with red roof and it's no issue. Not sure how good it will look though.

Its a great combo by the way
